The Places I Do Not Go

We were headed back to the car when this scene came into view. I was captivated by the lights, the signs, the brick and the mystery of what else lay ahead on this dead end Cleveland street.

When something like this catches my eye, it is hard to look away and keep moving. Unfortunately, we can’t follow every charming street and every inviting country road just because there might be something interesting to see.

No matter how tempting it may be to jump down yet another rabbit hole; we have to keep moving if we intend to get anywhere.

And boy, was it tempting!

From The Car Window

Sometimes the things we see in passing or from afar are just as interesting as those things we set out to see.

We were headed to Manhattan College at the time, having just enjoyed a bird’s eye view of New York City from Summit. As stunning as the high view was, I liked this one too. The city infrastructure is interesting and I liked the sidewalk action. They say people look like their pets and this seems true in this case where both canines and humans are so tall and slender.

The next time you’re out and about, pay attention to your surroundings. Look closer at the things that you typically consider eyesores or just part of the background. There’s a lot to be seen and adventure is just around the corner.
